ADJUSTING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the pontoon on the trailer so that the pontoon tubes are flush
with the ends of the bunks. This will give you maximum support.
The bunk spacing has already been determined and set for width
when the trailer was assembled.
WINCH POST
With the pontoon in its proper position, slide the winch post as-
sembly backward until it contacts the deck. The plastic stops allow
for the variance in most deck heights. It is adjustable up or down
approximately 3” if required. This is accomplished by loosening and
removing the two bolts that attach the top of the winch post assem-
bly to the base.
Once the winch post is contacting the deck, tighten in position.
Hook the winch strap into the bow eye and tighten by cranking the
winch.
AXLE ADJUSTMENT
The amount of tongue weight on your trailer can be adjusted as
follows:
To lower the tongue weight, adjust the axle assembly forward. To
increase the tongue weight, adjust the axle assembly backward.
The distance that the axle assembly has to be moved will vary be-
cause it is directly related to the weight and center of gravity of the
boat placed on it.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of the total
gross load of the complete unit.
Note: The law requires that the white ground wire on both the
tongue wire harness and vehicle harness be properly grounded to
respective trailer and vehicle frames.
Recheck all fasteners on the complete trailer to make sure they are
all tight and ready for towing. All fasteners should be periodically
checked before towing.
See your ShoreLand’r Owner’s Guide for further technical infor-
mation regarding your trailer and its components.
